The Samsung 840 Pro SSDs are pretty reliable, based on reviews. However, they aren't cheap; a little over twice the price of the Seagate SSHD you're considering. Also, only 89GB would be usable since SSDs need 20-25% overhead to maximize life (a 128GB SSD formats to 119GB so 75% of that is a bit over 89GB). If you could keep your day and OS partitions below that total, most of what you do with the computer is internet surfing, including social media, and you don't mind the expense, the Samsung Pro 125GB SSD would work just fine.
